Halloween is in just 11 days! That is correct! Do you know how much excitement is in me currently? So very much!
Halloween is the one day, outside of cons, that you can dress up in costume and not get shit for it. Or at least not as much as usual.
Halloween night is here from a long time ago as residual of the Pagan holiday All Hollows Night, in which the people believe the spirits could walk with the living. So, we dress up and carve the jack-o-lanterns in an attempt to scare them away from us.
But anyway, Halloween has always been a big holiday for my family and costumes have always played a big part!
This year I am being a Demon and attending my friend Randi's party, to get away from the chaos that is the dorms on Halloween night.
But I am very super excited, just 11 more days until Halloween! And then 17 days until Nebraskon! X3

Avoid the Gray Body Paint
The most terrifying moment I have experienced during a convention was getting caught in an elevator for 6 floors with a group of Home-stuck cosplayers, which are literally Trolls. They're very loud, usually very strange, and most of the ones I've encountered are incredibly rude.
But I got caught with three of them surrounding me in this elevator. One girl standing to the side, and two guys on the other sides, on the fourth side was the elevator door. One of the boys was wearing a Mrs. Clause dress and they were all covered in grey body paint. Home-Stuck cosplayers always are.
But the worst part of it all was the fact that when I got in they closed in on me and started beat-boxing in my ear, the one in the dress started rapping. I can't remember any of the words, all I remember is how fast I ran out of the doors when they finally opened on my level and the look of amusement on my friends' faces when I told them about it later.
But personally, they scare me greatly, I now avoid the gray body paint.

Con Weekends
Convention weekends sneak up on you. I have one in three weeks. It's the 6th through the 8th or November this year and it's all the way over in Nebraska. It's a yearly one that is either the first week of November or the weekend of Halloween. Luckily it's avoiding Halloween this year so I have more chances to run around in costume like the Nerd I truly am. But out of the many things I could say and recommend for con trips, here are the top 5.
- Drink a lot of water
- Stay away from alcohol(even if you are of legal age)
- Don't fight with your friends
- If someone is harassing you get the con security to recognize them as a threat to attendance(because sadly, sometimes that is the only way they will help)
- Don't get makeup on other cosplayers, objects, animals, or walls....You will either be cussed out or sued.
Have a happy con if you go and hopefully I will have one also!
